Michael Carroll long believed his father simply abandoned his family when he was just eight months old. But his sister was convinced by a psychic that their mother had been lying to them their entire lives.
An American man had an incredibly chilling experience when he discovered the remains of his father under the family home he grew up in decades after his disappearance, Fox News reported.
George Carroll, who lived with his family on Long Island, New York, disappeared in 1963 when his son Michael, who was found dead decades later, was just eight months old. For a long time, Michael had heard from his mother, Dorothy, that his father had started a new family and a new life with a Korean woman he met as a U.S. Army soldier during the Korean War. According to the man, the shocking discovery came after his sister consulted a medium.
The man’s sister, Jean Kennedy, said that the medium told her in 2010 that her father had not simply disappeared or run away, but had been murdered and his body had been buried under their family home.
Michael will discuss his shocking discovery in more detail in an upcoming documentary called The Secrets We Bury.
“The solution to the mystery itself became the starting point for the discovery of a thousand other little mysteries and secrets”
Michael bought the family home where he grew up in 1993 from his mother, who died of cancer five years later. However, he only started digging after his sister was warned by a medium, and she began to desperately search for answers to the mysteries surrounding her father’s disappearance.
On the day of the discovery, Michael wasn’t even digging alone; his two sons, Chris and Mike Jr., helped him.
For many, many years, people thought Mike and his sister, Jean Kennedy, were crazy. They were just told, ‘Your father is gone. Why can’t you accept that?’”
– said the documentary’s producer, Patricia E. Gillespie. “The solution to the mystery itself became the starting point for the discovery of a thousand other little mysteries and secrets,” the film producer continued.
“Like all of us, when we lose someone we love, there are conversations we wish we could have had or things we wish we could have resolved. For Jean, the medium was a way to do that – to make a long-distance call to the afterlife.”
The man suspects his stepfather
The man naturally reported his discovery to the police, and forensic experts later confirmed that the human remains found under the house belonged to his father. Whose death was later ruled a homicide after it was determined that a blunt force trauma had fractured his skull.
In the documentary, Micheal claimed that he believed his stepfather, Richard Darress, may have killed his father. However, Darress, who died in 2017 at the age of 77, was never prosecuted.
The stepfather was a handyman who allegedly came to work at the family home shortly before George’s disappearance. He married Michael’s mother, Dorothy, shortly after George’s disappearance. However, the documentary also revealed that George Carroll’s family never reported his disappearance to the authorities.
